"meta Real Life example"s are not allowed, only awesome moments that occur in the fiction


----
* Sort of a meta RealLife example. King is a voracious reader, and generous with his praise for new authors, who get a ColbertBump from his reviews. For example, in 2015 King tweeted about Creator/PaulTremblay 's ''Literature/AHeadFullOfGhosts''. When the book won the 2016 Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel, King tweeted his congratulations.
* King's dedication to writing counts as this. After the Kings' third son was born, King had a vasectomy. There were complications, and one day as he was writing ''Literature/{{Firestarter}}'', he began to bleed. Mrs. King found him with a lap full of blood, like something out of his own books, but he just ''had to finish'' the scene before going to the hospital!
** And then he got hit by a van...
* He was the first subject of ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'' to directly comment on it, saying Creator/EdgarAllanPoe kicked his ass.
* Honestly, just the fact that he's so prolific. Not everything he writes is a classic, [[Literature/{{Carrie}} but]] [[Literature/TheShining when]] [[Literature/{{It}} he]] [[Literature/TheGreenMile got it]] [[Film/TheShawshankRedemption right]], ''[[Literature/SalemsLot boy howdy]]'' [[Literature/TheDarkTower did he]] [[Literature/{{Cujo}} get it]] [[Literature/TheStand right]].

A lot of scary things happen in Stephen King's world... and sometimes his characters rise to the challenge.
